The singer will play six intimate shows, beginning at Washington, D.C.’s Howard Theatre on Feburaury 13.

She'll close the tour with two sets at New York City's Blue Note jazz club on February 25.

Tickets are available at MsLaurynHill.com -- VIP meet-and-greet packages are also available.

Here are the dates:

02/13 -- Washington, DC, Howard Theatre
02/14 -- Washington, DC, Howard Theatre
02/17 -- Brooklyn, NY, Rough Trade
02/20 -- New York, NY, Highline Ballroom
02/23 -- New York, NY, Highline Ballroom
02/25 -- New York, NY, Blue Note

ha at mini tour, DC and NYC dates does not make this a tour. Is she still on probation?

Mini-tour, indeed. To answer your question, her supervised probation period officially ended this past October.

Yikes those ticket prices.......who the fuck does she think she is? I would go see her but for maybe 1/3 of what she is asking. I remember when she pulled that no show at 3121.

I'm going to the Blue Note gig. Down for .org roll call if folks are gonna be in town.

AHAHAHAHAHAH 100-175 to have her be 2-4 hours late. And i loved the lyrics on her unplugged album. But she played the same three chords for two hours i hope she's learned to play more than three chords by now.

I like her band but all they do is re-work her songs and turn them into 7 minute reggae jams. I guess if you like that then you might like her show. I would rather see her do her first record well. Now some of her best songs are hard to recognize. Don't believe me then look up one of her recent shows on youtube. She's still got her voice though. Shame she went and had eighty kids.

She's so late, you wouldn't know which side of those calendar dates you would see her on.

The jam band is tight but I doubt she will be full on with the squad. I am actually hoping on an Unplugged-style show possibly without any sort of accompaniment, some of those 2.0 songs ("WATER" and "MR INTENTIONAL" especially), and some stripped down Fugee/Miseducation. I hope to be jamming into the wee hours of 2/26 lol. Plus it'll be a trip to visit the legendary Blue Note in the Village, I walk past it frequently. Tables are already sold out.

that's true.......maybe it will be like her live record, which I could never get into.....

They should tell Ms. Hill her start time is 3:00 pm...

maybe she'll show up by 8:00pm.

ON THE REAL though, the people I know that saw her, she wasn't late, and they said the show was spell-binding. I have yet to see her, so I have no place to complain or dis.

She came to Chicago 18 months - give or take- ago. Didn't hit the stage 'bout close to midnight, then got an attitude when her fans booed and hiss....

I think her audiences would understand if she was like "bathroom break" late, or "let me finish up this smoke" late, but she is hours late. That's not tolerated from any act: new/old, white/black, female/male, but she seems to think she is under appreciated as an artist (or artists in general? are not appreciated for their performances).

I can't stand when artists are late. As cinnny said... bathroom break or smoke break late sure. 30-45 minutes and i'll even give a pass. Prince is known for being an asshole with time. When i saw at The Forum in 2011 he was 45 minutes late. But put on a 3 and a half hour show! with like 3 or 4 encores. So all was forgiven.

I have two buddies who saw Lauryn live. Said she was an hour and a half late. Her voice was cracking and she only played for an hour!

Played for an hour? That's all?! In such a case, rioting is justified.

Not so long ago,someone on this site posted a clip of a recent performance of "X Factor" and I thought it was very interesting.The song had a totally different arrangement.If Lauryn ever comes to my area,I may try to go see her.
